pea plants
Climbing garden legumes
Pea plants are legumes of the genus *Pisum*, cultivated for their edible seeds and pods.
They grow as climbing vines with tendrils and produce pods containing round green peas.
Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants in the 1860s established the foundations of modern genetics—their distinct, heritable traits made inheritance patterns visible across generations.
